Hello everybody.
I have finished my exams, had some nice weeks chilling out and started to read your reports.
Some of the things do sound really simple and should be fixed very fast.
I want to say that i am not going to spend a lot of time on ktk anymore, but i try to fix as much bugs as possible within the next few weeks.
I have moved on the a new project - for details message me on xfire or steam (i also need some help with images), or wait until a playable beta is ready
Just to let you know - i'm absolutely busy with studying.
Exams are in middle of may, that has priority for now.
Alles anzeigenHi!, I don't know what happened but my post wasnt send yesteday =/
Here is more feedback:
I noticed something about the m21 bug, it also happens with the king weapon at 5 kills, and I'm almost sure that this bug has to do with the hardpoints bugs, if you have 3 hardpoints (even if you don't see them because you are assasin and got them as guard or they just don't show) you won't acquire the m21 or the weapon as king.
Sounds like the same issue, it's hopefully fixed within the next update.
I was taking a look into the king killing bug, it happens more often than I thought but I really don't have any idea why the assasins don't change to guards when killed by the king. It always happens a random time after the round starts but not really early.
The time should not affect the kill behaviour, but i'll take a deeper look into that, there must be anything i am overlooking.
Today happened to me again the ac130 faillin bug, I was doing normally, it seems to happen while firing the first weapon of the ac130 repeteadly.
Interesting, maybe i can reproduce it now.
I have also some suggestion/questions:
I know that there are some maps that may be incompatible with the mod or be corrupted and they won't even load. But there are some maps that crash only after every round or just after the first round after the killcam (te first one kicks everyone every round and the last just restarts the rotation) That maps are playable in any way?
Depends on the error coming up.
A 'file sum/name mismatch' should be fixable by giving the .iwd file a shorter name.
I also want to know something about terminator, the picking of terminator is totally random? I noticed that it may choose ppl full of life? or something about the amount of life? (I say this because I noticed that while Im juggernaut I have really higher chance of being terminator?)
Nope.
The terminator is a random player of the kings team.
Another suggestion, I understand that is too much spam and not worth to add the last suggestion but what about boosting a bit the rewards for killing the king or surviving as king? I noticed that gives the same exp and I guess points too than killing a regular guard, meanwhile surviving as king it even gives less exp than killing as assasin. It may be great if that can be boosted a bit or maybe add some gift to the killer/survivor at the next round?
Possible yeah, but xp are not the kind of gift i prefer.
Any other ideas for gifts?

- There is a bug that if the anti-leaving king system works before the assasin/dog are chosen, there is some low probability that the new king choosen is the same guy that is also assasin or dog and then when is changed to the assasin team the round ends (it's like the king changes team so it's like its dead, the same stuff that happened with the motd button)
Have to take a deeper look into the code
-Also if the king leaves after being chosed all the roles and the anti-leaving king system do its job, the new king will be chosen but the HP bar or the name will be updated anymore, also the circles that distinguish the king from other guards is stuck at where the king left. (This last bug I saw that really rarely the circles follow some other person instead the king after being re-picked, maybe it's because the first king player reconnected? I don't really know why that happened)
Fixed
- Also there are some minor "bug" with the rc-xd, you can actually use the weaponboxes and plant a tripware while using it.
Fixed
I have also a suggestion/question:
- Actually killing the king or the assasins gives you more points than killing a normal guard/assasin? If it does already, should be a nice suggestion if it's possible to add a "thing" (I don't really remember how it's called but I mean the images that are shown at the top when you do special things like first blood, 3 kills, 10 kills etc.) It could be nice to add something for the king or even for the dog/assasin/slave too :P.
Nah, that would spam the screen very hard when killing assassin/dog/slave
Any news about when will be public the new version? If you need some test or feedback from the testserver tell us, so we can try to test in order to release it faster.
As soon as possible
Uploading files, kinda big this time because i have to upload the iwd as well.
- Fixed the weapon change to the wrong weapon after a hardpoint
- Added a setting to decide if you want to enter the next prestige automatically or not
- Keybindings added to controls menu
- Rewrote the targetmarker script (should also fix the carepackage issue)
- Fixed the revive glitch, when you get downed while reviving a player the revive will stop.
- (Hopefully) fixed the "No xmodel loaded for item index 15, weap index 15, model 0 (knife/morphine)" crash, the weapon files had no worldmodel.
- Rewrote the hardpoint repeat code, it was outdated and did only work with the old hardpoint system.
I haven't touched the m21 hardpoint code, on the test server it works fine too.
About the options:
badges: if you are vip or admin you can enable a little icon on the scoreboard to show players how epic you are 
vision: some event during the gameplay have visual effects you can enable/disbale through this setting. e.g. the dogs black & white view or the orange view during a nuke
The thing is that there are tons of zombie mods out.
I always loved to play zombies but sadly the cod4 zombie servers are always empty nowadays 
We need some special features never been there before to attract players.
Ideas? 
I'm not sure, but i think it's cracked.
No it's not vash, it's a clan mate of mine i know for quite a while now 
Haven't seen my mate for a few days now, but the server needs a restart to load the new mod.ff, otherwise we will be stuck in a download loop.
Did anyone play the mod yet?
Some feedback or improvement ideas would be sweet 
The mask is actually a perk made for the mw2 , it prevents the gas effects. I just remembered it and I thought you might be interested or would be great something like that, I dont know it was just an idea.
Oh my god lol, i really thought i have added that perk.
Okay there's no gas mask in ktk, but sadly i have reached that max amount of itemDefs within the shop, which means that i can not add any new things.
About the changing weapon: rc-xd and predator for sure. Mortars, airstrike turret and cp not. I will check ac and heli and edit. (anyway the most annoying are rc xd and predator because you respawn faster)
Fixed.
You said that the suggestion about low lvls king is too much work, but I was wondering and I want to ask about something for the lvl 55. There is any way to auto-enterprestige or show a message in the center of the screen about how to enter it and about using unlockables? In the server there are a lot of peple who stuck at 55 lvl and some times is impossible to explain them at chat because of too many people or some just dont read it.
I understand, i'll add that.
Players can change the behaviour within the settings (i heard some players like their rank icon and don't want to change, so this sounds fair)
By the way what do you think about the suggestions about key bindings and the new crossbow?
I dislike the look of the bo2 crossbow so i'll stick with the current one.
About the keybindings, well... it's possible, do we need them for every setting within the settings menu?
edit: keybindings done.
I want to ask again too if no one knows anything about the being stuck at 'setting up game' when they have downloaded the mod. It happened to different people with different mod versions and different servers. There isnt any way of fixing that or any idea about why it happens?
I have no idea what's causing that, but i think it has sth to do with these 1.7a server files.
I have more bugs and older that havent been answered:
- Disappearing targets and/or crosshair at ac130 and chopper.
Happens because players are constantly respawning, changing teams etc.
To be honest i haven't found a way yet to get the code working 100 percent.
- Some carepackages are not showing what they have inside.
An other bug i can not reproduce.
Is there always the same item in the carepackage when there is no icon above?
- The lives not being used bug. At this moment you get lifes killing while downed, being revived and reviving. But the problem is that sometimes the life doesnt work and you spawn as assasin
Works fine for me, but i have an idea what could cause it.
Can you compare the amount of your deaths (scoreboard) before you die and when you respawn as an assassin instead of a guard?
Maybe there is a bug in the script and you die twice... The first death would remove your earned life, the secound will switch you to the assassins then.
Earning lives when killing an assassin while in last stand is no bug.
- Also the reviving for glitch one. Its possible to finish reviving while death/downed (that allows you to jump to impossible locations because fall damage and do a trick with a teammate to stay both alive after reviving)
You mean when you get downed yourself (or die) during the revive is in progress it finishes and the other guy gets up again?
- There is also the weird problems with the 3 hardpoint system, about not showing some or getting/using some double.
Should be fixed.
I'll try to record or explain better this bug and the ac130 falling one if you want.
Would be great.
It's easier to analyse what happened
Also some new bugs:
- the knife xmodel one rarely happens but it does on any map, I'll try to screenshot it. EDIT: I ss it ·"No xmodel loaded for item index 15, weap index 15, model 0 (knife)" I have to say that it happens when killing a king with some knife, and the number at error changes I say 12 and 10 also I guess
Which knife are we talking about?
The normal one you have with every weapon, or the knife you have from time to time when you spawn as assassin.
Also do you see the knife before it hits the king?
- I dont know if its server/mod or mine only bug but at the kill/deaths chat there is some Error: (I'll try to screenshot it too)
Yeah a screenshot would help.
- It's not really a bug but a question: the dvar that allows to get the harpoints again when you reach the last should be working if the only 3 HP is enabled?
Sure.
Also another question, it's possible to merge the rotations based on amount of players with the votesystem? I mean that the votes are with the maps of the rotation that is actually running (if its the lesser players one show that maps in the vote system, if its the high populated one other maps...)
Nope, i have not added a feature for that.
If you want I can stream my gameplay and try to get the ac130 bug and the hardpoints bugs and other stuff for you.
My internet connection sucks, it would lag badass, but videos and screenshots would help a lot.
Thanks for your report!
edit: I'm trying to find out which materials can be removed from the mod.csv.
Would be nice if you could keep an eye on red lines in the console/log and missing images.
I'm currently uploading the files.
I don't know what happens with the ac130, but i can not reproduce the bug.
For now i have changed the definition of the ac130 variable to be sure the correct player gets teleported back to the ground.
I have again changed the script for the hardpoints of the king, there will be a dvar system to exactly define when the king gains which perk/weapon/hardpoint.
[..]If you get the same hardpoint 2 times, you just use it once and both disappear.
I also can not reproduce this problem.
I did exactly what you described, but i can not gain a hardpoint twice, it just ignores it.
Added the gas effect after teleporting
As far as i know the gas mask is working for assassins as well (if you bought it in the shop)
What do yo mean about buying in the shop? You really got me here xDDD
Uhm, i think i didn't get you right, can you explain what you ment whith the special thing.
Fixed the turret issue.
You can have as many turrets as you want now, they will all get destryoed.
I also changed the code so you can only pick up one at a time.
I don't think i'll be able to upload the files this weekend.
I haven't uploaded any files yet O.o
Can you run it in developer to give me a line of the code?
Server: 94.250.222.58:28987
password: test
connect 94.250.222.58:28987; password test
Great, i'll send you the files as soon as possible.
I have spoken with a friend, maybe i get a server.
If not i'll let you know.
The mod is in a playable beta phase and waiting for testers

I also confirm the problems with the targets at heli/ac130, and also I would like to add a bug at ac130 that makes you literally fall and you are like a walking ac130 with only first weapon but if you didnt upgraded the weapon from the gungame before using it, you can upgrade and lose the ac130 weapon to get the regular weapon and become a white immortal walking guard with the grey stuff on your screen but really OP. Happened to me twice already.
I can't reproduce the 'ac130 falling bug', do you have any detailed informations about it.
Also the picking new king system only works if the king leaves before the match start, if the king leaves after some time or is kicked, the round is lost. Someone already mentioned the bug that lets you kill the king or simply change team and I confirm it too.
Works fine for me, make sure the time is higher then the time within the assassin/dog/slave/king are selected.
Dont know if mentioned before or not, and maybe isnt a problem of the mod but: there is a bug that if you hit a downed guard/king just at the same moment that is being downed, you make a hit but it deals no damage. Also you can actually get stuck inside a carepackage if it falls just on you and then you cant pick it up or move just stay there bugged. Furthermore you can use carepackages as extraheight to jump/glitch or even to blovk ladders or other spots ... xD.
No damage while going in last stand is an engine thing.
The blockers of the carepackages are meant to be that way (blocking
The issue with getting stuck in the blocker might be a wrong setting (dvar) of the carepackage behaviour.
I would like to add a question/suggestion to viking or other experienced players of ktk: It's possible to mannually establish the king special hardpoints? or maybe just add some more weapons on its special ones? Atm is just the option to change between special or not and changing the king weapon at spawn and 5 kills.
I have slightly changed the script now, so if the weapon you defined in the dvar is a hardpoint that will work too.
m8' TimeMaster
PD: I just realised that there is one more bug: at the weaponboxes you can still receive a hardpoint without texture that does nothing but gives you 100 points (I guess its the dog poop :P)
Looks like you are still using the old iwd then.
The dog poop (winchester1200_grip_mp) has been removed from the iwd.
PD2: More bugs came to my mind: Its possible to finish reviving while death/downed (that allows you to jump to impossible locations because fall damage and do a trick with a teammate to stay both alive after reviving), it's possible to take carepackages or move and shoot after reviving/taking carepackage within the last seconds of the rounds, some times the carepackages are not showing the hardpoint that is inside, also the turret can be infinetely used just taking it and repositioning all the times you want.
Phew, tbh i have no idea how to fix that (yet)
Furthermore there is a "problem" with the 3 killstreak system that makes hardpoints disappear or double use them etc (it makes you unable to pick more if you have 3 "invisible"or use them, also lets you use 2 rc xd in a row for example). I know exactly some bugs about that and when they happen but its a bit tricky and can be an exploit,
I dont understand, can you send me a pm with an instruction how to reproduce the bug pls?
Also some harpoints switch your weapon when you use them (I mean the same problem as climbing as assasin before), and well the tripwares being used at the same time as using weaponboxes and the gungames upgrading at the same time as picking the turrets or the claymores (I know that this may not be a really bug but just saying)
Can you tell me which hardpoints that are?
- It would be really great and useful if its possible ofc, Implement an option that prevents low lvl people to become king/assasin. The fact that a new player becomes king or assasin makes the rounds unbalanced and sometimes too fast or impossible to win becoming really boring or annoying. That could be fixed if there is a option that only after X lvl/prestige people can become king or assasin. (the dog/slave doesnt really matter)
I have already mentioned that in an other post (or was it a pm to ufaced - can't remember)... The script is a pain and the effort to change it is just to much.
- Also should be really really more effective if the antiglitch system instead of teleporting, causes a similar effect as smoke grenades for like 1 or 2 sec without damage, because actually it can be used as a free tp and saves the king so hard.... xD
Sorry but i disagree.
If you allow players to glitch, even if it's only for a fast escape for the king, then they will abuse it when no admin is watching... Means the king will hide in the glitches.
- I know that exists a perk that simulates a gas mask, it could be awesome to add it like a special weapon for some assasin or maybe for the slave?... dunno just an idea that came up to my mind, maybe you find some better uses or its unviable.
As far as i know the gas mask is working for assassins as well (if you bought it in the shop)
- I was also wondering about the invisble tripware... there are some other skins or models for clay/c4, it would be awesome a bouncing betty instead the tripware or maybe other ones. Also I would suggest to update the ballista from bo to the bo2 one, it really looks awesome, but its just an opinion and visual stuff =).
I cant add any more models due to the xmodel limit.
If you find a better model in the stock files i will change it, no problem
About more bugs:Well, the motd & rules button not only let people kill the king instantly but also let them change teams (it acts like a auto-assign button that's why the king dies if you use it because the auto-assign function is to reassign you to the most unpopulated team or not to change you if you are already in it)
I see, yeah thats annoying, but easy to fix.
Also there is one more really OP bug with the turret: if you manage to get 2 turrets at the same time, you can literally adquire a shield as assasin or even a guard-killer turret. If you want to I can explain how to manage to get the 2 turrets and do the bug but yeah all the people will know and the may exploit it.
I dont get it, can you give me an instruction (pm pls) so i can reproduce the bug?
Is the test-server still available?
I would like to upload new files.
I'm still here
Just tell me all the problems and bugs you have found.
The javelin has 3 models (1 worldmodel, 1 viewmodel and 1 projectile),
also the 'white player' to fix the head/helmet server crashes is a model.
From what i read here i think an other update of the mod is needed.
Thanks for you reports.
